Description of the problem	The car has its gear shifter directly behind the 2 cup holders. I learned that the shifter is some kind of electronic device like a computer keyboard. The device is so unprotected that a small spill of a drink, an oz or two can dramatically alter its ability to operate safely. I have held twice two beverages that when going over a bump ejected an oz or so onto the shifter. Now the car goes into neutral while driving or slips out of reverse backing up. Its extremely dangerous. Nissan at the customer relations dept has refused to provide any warranty assistance yet the car is now unsafe. There are no warnings on the vehicle about this design flaw, yet they take no responsibility for this. The shifter is very different in design than other nissan shifters . This shifter is exposed unlike other models. Their other vehicles aren't exposed. This is so serious i believe upon examination a recall should be made for all owners who may be driving and their car will slip out of gear. I made several attempts to get resolve and they will not budge. In my opinion this is a product design flaw.. Can you imagine a computer with a keyboard and cup holders directly in front of it? Any leakage from a cup would render it useless. Now we are talking about a car going down a highway and slipping out of gear or not being able to put it in park or back up as it goes into neutral. This is a new vehicle. They should have designed the shifter to make it liquid proof if its going to be placed directly in front of drink holders. They apparently don't care about my family nor my safety by their disregard. Please jump into this and make them correct this for me and for others. The dealer said they have other situations like this yet nissan claims at the customer relations level its not known. People could get killed from this. Help. Thanks

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
